The graphics in the game have a pretty and cheerful color, no need to be too picky but still make the player quite attentive and satisfied. Effects when players interact with objects are quite unique as well as realistic fire and explosion effects.
2. Sound
The sound when interacting is quite lively, but in suspenseful and urgent situations, the sound is still quite silent or still not enough for the player to clearly feel the sound. However, in general, the sound in Scrap Mechanic is still only at a round level and there is no bold mark.
